“Eliminated?”
“And then some.”
“Excellent. I knew you’d be an excellent associate.”
“So that’s what the ‘A’ stands for.”
“No, Doctor Preston. Hasn’t Tessa informed you yet? It stands for assassin. We are assassins. All of us.”
Cam’s mouth dropped open. “Now, wait a minute. Nobody said anything about killing people. And I’m drawing the line, sweetheart. Right here. Right now.”
“Can we put this on the discussion list, too?”
And then she blew him an air kiss. Akron chuckled. Cam dropped the phone. His ear was ringing. His other ear was getting kissed. Tessa wasn’t helping the situation. Her tongue was creating all kinds of havoc down his neck.
“Um. Sir?”
“I’m still here, Preston. For the next...fifteen seconds or so. What else can I do for you?”
“Can we get a ride? Or...two of them?”
“Two?”
“Leonard and Tassanee probably need their own space. He’s uh...been changed. Is that the right word? Stop that, Tess.”
“Leonard is now a full vampire? My. It’s been a fairly full night for you. 4-D Team and two choppers enroute. This call has reached its limit. Good bye. And good luck with the discussions, young man. You’re going to need it.”
The man was laughing as he rang off. Cam almost joined him, and would have. If Tessa hadn’t claimed his lips. His life.
And his future.
And that was just fine with him.
